The focus of this research is on the motivational factors that influence job satisfaction, and design strategies to improve teachers’ job satisfaction and job performance based on the findings. This study uses a quantitative questionnaire research using a questionnaire survey on 138 teachers in Tianfu No. 4 Middle School. The analysis from multiple linear regression results shows that the three independent variables, namely compensation、work environment、and career development have significant influence on employee job satisfaction, and the findings from simple linear regression shows that employee job satisfaction has a significant influence on job performance. It is recommended that a detailed salary payment system be developed so that teachers can clearly understand the components of the salary. This study aimed to understand the actual needs of teachers and develop a clear teacher development training plan and implement it on a regular basis.
